 Dodge Strong Box | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 71 journeyman | OP  journeyman Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 71 | Hi everyone, I just picked this up on ebay, it is about three inches wide and around two inches high with a coin slot on top. I am assuming that they were given away at dealerships when the B vans first came out. Anyone ever run across one of these, or know anything else about them? ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h122/DougTimme/DSC02023_zps96xofbxn.jpg) | | | Re: Dodge Strong Box | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 38 Likes: 1 newbie | | newbie Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 38 Likes: 1 | Not familiar with that strong box.

Back then, the dealers had all kinds of promotions and gadgets to give out to try and entice you to buy a vehicle. Been collecting Mid-Dodge stuff for over 40 years and never came across any of these. Nice find. | | | Re: Dodge Strong Box | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 pooh-bah | | pooh-bah Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 | That's sweet! I've not heard of them before either. Definitely looks like it would be right at home perched on a Dodge dealer's desk. I wonder, if we counted up how many improvements we've made to our "strong boxes" if the number would even fit on the little trunk?

I found it by accident. The guy had two, I missed the first one, then found the second one. I wonder if it was a national thing, or a local item. Local zones had more freedom back then and this could have been a regional item. | | |
